Is gum contouring painful?

We use local anesthesia to ensure your comfort during the procedure. Most patients experience only mild discomfort afterward, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.

How long is the recovery from gum contouring?

Most patients recover within a week to 10 days. You may experience some tenderness and swelling initially, but you can typically return to normal activities within a day or two.

Are gum contouring results permanent?

Yes, gum contouring results are permanent. Once the excess gum tissue is removed and reshaped, it does not grow back.
